I understand you. Very annoying these days.

For dynamics you have to ask MS for access to the sql back end. Then its granted for several hours as read only. That’s why you have to use synapse link to a data lake etc.

You do understand, when you have VM’s set to auto scale, they shutdown when not in use, if you’re using horizontal scaling.

But it is. They’re stopped and deallocated. They start up when demanded. And shutdown when below a threshold or a certain schedule.

No we shut them down. They get deallocated the same way as shutting down a virtual server does. They’re not containers, the scaling part just turns them on and off based on workload or schedule

Finally someone who gets it.

Is it shutting down servers… Yes. it just does it based on parameters and thresholds.

Then you get things like VDI servers and jump boxes that only need to be on between certain hours, so get shutdown outside them hours.

In pretty much any enterprise using the public cloud. Everything is auto scaling, so shutdowns when not needed. Dev environments shutdown over night… If you’re not shutting down and scaling in the public cloud, you’re doing it wrong.

We power off servers in the enterprise all the time and on schedules 😂. Its called saving money.

When the kids breaks a window, they still have to pay. They just don’t have to source it, which means they might not be getting the best deal.

Plus, most landlords leave things till the last minute or make it such hard work for the tenant to report it, they don’t bother.

The maintenance is built into the rent, so they’re already paying for it, just not getting the best deal and losing the option to do it how they want.

If they add on a service charge at a bar. I always ask them to remove it. A service charge for me walking to the counter and ordering a drink… Really!

Lots of countries only have mobile data to homes. Think African countries, India, Pakistan, then you’ve got Vietnam etc, with villages on rivers.

SFP+ is 10Gb/s not SFP. The ASIC needs to be capable of the speeds for the transceiver to work. SFP+ is the name given for 10Gb/s module and transceivers.

So if a device supports SFP+ it supports 10Gb/s. It doesn’t automatically mean it will work with 5 or 2.5Gb/s transceivers.

Well it’s usually In the firmware. As this is a laptop, the display is usually a dumb display. It depends if the manufacturer wrote the firmware into a controller or used windows drivers.

The UK has two modes of “fibre” FTTC fibre to cabinet. Then copper to your property. Or FTTP, fibre to premise, which is as you describe fibre right to your property.

Its not loose. Its free, smile and wave boys, smile and wave.

Love my XPS 13, runs fedora with no issues. Such a solid laptop. Also love my 4K screen

I am just waiting for your switch shelf to collapse. That’s some serious flex. :)
